High living costs attract students to Italian cities
Media reports circulated that the protests that erupted in many Italian cities, such as Milan, Turin, and Bologna, have escalated from peaceful demonstrations into violent clashes between protesters and police. The unrest was fueled by the high cost of living, the housing crisis, and new education laws imposed by the right-wing government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The confrontations resulted in injuries to four police officers and over 20 protesters, as well as the detention of more than 50 individuals. Students also rallied in demonstrations expressing their anger over the shortage of teachers and restrictive education laws, particularly those limiting the percentage of international students in classrooms. The Prime Minister acknowledged that protests are a legitimate right but described violence as unacceptable, emphasizing the need to maintain peace in the cities.
